8 months old!

Lincoln is 8 months now. It's so crazy. He is so incredibly fun and is learning/doing new things daily!

Getting him to take a picture with his sign this time wasn't so easy. He is such a wiggle worm.

I just love that face. And look at those eyes!

So the other day, we were playing peek-a-boo around our ottoman. I then decided to look underneath it, and see if Lincoln could figure out where I was. I just kept calling his name and hitting my hand on the floor. He finally figured it out. Here he is looking under the ottoman and discovering me.

He then decided to crawl around to where I was. Here he is peeking his adorable little head around the corner.

The other day we were driving in the car and Grammy put this bear on Lincoln's head. He didn't even care. He left it there for the whole drive. What a little rascal.

It was raining on Sunday, and when we were walking home from church (yes, we can walk b/c it's so close) Lincoln helped his daddy hold the umbrella. I love this picture.

Other things about Lincoln:

1. He is crawling like crazy. I can't really contain the kid anymore.

2. He is really getting the hang of pulling himself up now. Yesterday he was taking a bath and when he decided that he was done, he pulled himself up and tried to get out.

3. He loves to swing.

4. He will smile at me when I sing to him.

5. Sometimes I catch him singing too.

6. He says "Ma Ma." YES! I win!

7. He is so observant. Yesterday I had the broom sitting out next to his high chair. I could tell he was looking at something down on the floor. I then saw his eyes look all the way up, and back down again. I then knew that he was checking out the broom.

8. He can go from crawling to sitting by himself. He pretty much can do it, but he just needs to move his one arm up from under him a little more.

9. He finds ANYTHING on the carpet. I have mentioned this before, but it's seriously out of control. He even finds pieces of the carpet to eat.

10. He smacks his lips.

11. He gives really cute/slobbery kisses. The other day I knew he wanted to give me a kiss, so I put my cheek in front of his mouth. That wasn't good enough for him, so he turned my face so he could plant one on my mouth!

12. His teeth are really showing now. I love the two-tooth smile.

13. I think he may like the color purple. 

14. I think he may be left-handed.

15. He is ticklish, especially on his feet.

16. Everyone that he meets refers to him as a Cabbage Patch doll, or Charlie Brown.

17. This morning his Grammy gave him a taste of caramel apple dip from her finger. He grabbed her finger and kept sucking on it. Then a few minutes later he tried to suck on it again. Hilarious.

18. While in his high chair, he is finding that it's fun to drop things onto the floor. He will then lean his head over and stare at whatever it is until we pick it up. Seriously...he just gets quiet and stares at it and we can't get his attention until that thing is up off the floor.

19. A couple weeks ago, we were a bit late to church. While we were waiting in the hallway to be able to go in, the primary of the other ward started singing "If You're Happy and You Know It...". This is Lincoln's favorite song. He immediately popped his head up and looked toward the sound of the music, and then turned to look at us, as if he was saying, "Mom and Dad, I know that song!" It was so cute.

20. I could go on and on....

I love this kid!
